Alert based on task type

[Former Member]

We need to have task type as a criterion for alerts. We need to set this for a particular task in the project (when it is completed). We cannot use the generic task complete as the trigger because in that case the system will alert at the completion of every task. So the idea is to set a particular task type for this particular task and use this for alerting.

We are able to set Tsk_Type as an attribute. However, in the formula (for threshold), the system errors on the task type ID. For task type ID ZTask_Type, setting the formula "Tsk_Type =  ZTask_Type" gives an error.

Any idea on what needs to be set up in the formula?

((SYSTEM_STATUS = 'I1703')  AND (TSK_TYPE = ZTSK005-E))

This is the formula... refer to the last part of the formula (TSK_TYPE...). The value ZTSK005-E is the Task Type ID.

Hi Deepak,

Try thIS value as String or Constant.

The formula must be like this: ((SYSTEM_STATUS = 'I1703')  AND (TSK_TYPE = 'ZTSK005-E'))
